I just saw the video and was impressed by the amount of detail Apple puts in their “apple way of doing what already exists” but at the same time really discouraged to even try this stuff. Can’t explain much better than saying: everything seems dystopian. Like Marques says: who would be at their child birthday party with a headset on their head? I just think it’s another step in the long stair of individualism.

During the presentation I thought the same thing initially, but then remembered that it was also extremely common to stand there with a large camcorder in hand (and typically put right up to your face so you can see what you are filming). It may not feel that different.

It would of course get absurd if half the family stands there with these things on their head. But that’s a different matter I guess.
